Engineering decisions are increasingly being made based on interpretation of large amount of decisions. This two-day interactive workshop will provide participants with the basic knowledge and skills of data analytics.

The workshop will focus on classification techniques to predict categorical and continuous variables. Important issues in classification like under- and overfitting, evaluation of model performance and feature selection will be covered. Hands-on practical will be conducted.

Who Should Attend

  • For general audience with basic understanding of statistics and no background in programming who wants to learn more about data analytics and machine learning
  • For individuals with Engineering background and keen to learn more about how data analytics is used in decision making
Prerequisites
  • Has basic statistics knowledge

What You Will Learn

Multiple Linear Regression

  • Fitting of linear regression model to dependent variable and interpreting model performance using p-value, R-square, adjusted R-square and residuals

Logistic Regression and other classification methods

  • Fitting of logistic regression model to dependent categorical variable and interpreting model performance with the confusion matrix

Issues in Classification

  • Feature normalization, data pre-processing, under- and overfitting, feature selection, regularization and cross-validation

Clustering techniques

  • K-means and hierarchical clustering will be covered

Practical machine learning

  • Using freely available graphical programming software to perform classification and linear regression tasks
